Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Bright red blood in urine post-TURP signals bleeding, requiring monitoring. Output checks are more frequent, rate varies, and tubing stays below bladder level.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has osteoporosis and a new prescription for alendronate. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Remaining upright for 30 minutes prevents esophageal irritation from alendronate. It's taken in the morning, rash isn't common, and milk interferes with absorption.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving IV chemotherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Protective equipment (gown, gloves, mask) prevents exposure to hazardous chemotherapy drugs. Peripheral lines are used, checks should be hourly, and saline is standard for flushing.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a newly licensed nurse about bowel sounds. Which of the following characteristics should the nurse use to describe hyperactive bowel sounds?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Hyperactive bowel sounds are loud, high-pitched, and frequent, indicating increased motility, not decreased. They aren't linked to paralytic ileus or soft, infrequent sounds.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for propranolol. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
